Kevin Smith on Finding Success and Losing His Religion [Audio]

[@martinshortzenegger]

I love how, in classic Kevin Smith style, this became Kevin interviewing Katee

[@SupersonicMan10000]

We really wanted it that way.

[@mythagohunter]

I was just about to say that very thing

[@Notretsam]

lmao yeah, I'm at 24mins and so far it's Kevin interviewing Katee, that is what is cool about this, its more of a chat than a interview, Ming-Na interview felt the same.

[@pauldelaney1642]

I’m listening to the podcast edition, and laughing that it took thirty-seven minutes for them to realize who was supposed to be doing the interviewing.😂 It’s all good, I love Katee’s conversational interview style.

[@GrahamDayFortressofGeek]

It happens every time 😂

[@emmabiuk3753]

Dear Katee I just wanted to say that a lot of people love how much involved you were in s3 and we hope you will continue to be an integral part of the story. Love you ❤

[@BLAG109]

This will be the longest podcast! Love Kevin ❤

[@cassiebanks]

I listen to Fatman/Blackman Beyond all the time (well, less of the time of late because he's been busy) and yet I STILL heard a few bits here and there that I've never heard Kevin discuss before. Awesome job Katee! I so want to see Katee in Moosejaws because I think it would be hilarious! Yes, I would LOVE to see Ming-na Wen and Katee in a buddy cop movie.

[@mikeschmurf]

Well, I’m gonna need a Kevin Smith directed Katee Sackhoff movie now.

[@mikeschmurf]

Kevin always turns the interview around on whoever he’s talking too. Such a great chat. Thanks!

[@jirayasama7]

I love Kevin Smith, this was such a fantastic show. He's such a professional and helped the conversation flow seamlessly by asking questions about you that he was curious about. Can't wait for the next episode

[@katarn101]

I'm torn apart now because I want to listen to this immediately! Instead, it's getting saved so I can listen at work tomorrow.

[@monkeyseatfingers]

When's the extended cut gonna drop? This is so great. I can imagine a show with Wil Wheaton could turn into a whole thing as well.

[@Kev_D.]

A female bromance I believe is a "womance," and a Ming-Na specific one would most definitely be a "Ming Fling."

[@tonyshane1]

This was less of an interview and more of a conversation. AND I LOVED IT!!

[@edbeecher3193]

Terry Pratchett had a large room filled with file cabinets with full descriptions and backstories of every single character he ever envisioned no matter how small the part.

[@RobertMcGovernTarasis]

Haven’t heard yet, but impressed you kept Kevin at only 2 hours … and lol ending up using his equipment. He is the master of the gab.

[@crystalcharee57]

That has to be the most relaxed I’ve ever heard him. He seems like the sweetest person and the conversation flowed really well. I feel like I got to know a lot about both of you. And now I really want to see Moose Jaws even though I don’t really like scary movies.

[@kennythereaver1]

whatever works for you! I actually like the audio too cus I can listen to it while I game, drive, work out. This feels a lot better and you seem more comfortable. Do you girl!

[@DarkChyld333]

Hearing Kevin Smith talk this way about superheroes and comic books just breaks my heart man. He’s part of the reason I got into comic book stuff so heavily. I hope he finds his love for it again.

[@piusdoe8984]

Wow didnt expect this. Whats even better than Kevin movies is listening to Kevin talk 🎉❤ great vid!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Katee and Kevin! 🎙

[@FireFlyMaxx]

I listened to this show and last week's while at work today. Thank you Katee, for two of the best interviews / hangouts I've ever listened to. I grew up near Kevin's hometown, I used to shop at his comic book store as a teenager almost 30 years ago, and yes he was that funny and genuinely sincere back then too.

[@alansepicvideos9083]

Even if it's only audio, this is an entertaining with Kevin and Katee talking about how their careers started and other parts of their life.

[@edkwon]

Kevin Smith (in a Somali pirate voice): 'Look at me... Look at me... I'M THE INTERVIEWER NOW' 😂

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

jedi mind trick? 🙄

[@TK_Brainslug]

Kev is such a gem, I need Moosejaws now and to the body cop movie with Ming just let Kev write and Bryce direct it she did your Mando bodycop episode, which was hilarious in my eyes

[@chriscarmichael4306]

What a great conversation. Thanks for this. Kevins podcasts have gotten me through so much the past five years. He's been more helpful than any family or friend or drug I've known. thanks to you both for all you do in the the arts. The escape and enjoyment it fills people with mean so much .

[@SolidRollin]

Great episode! Kevin has always been a gem.

[@All4chaosG]

Oh snap...my brother from another mother. Kevin is the man. So happy to hear this. One Podcaster with a Podcast Mogul. This is awesome.

[@iMintyNinja]

Im so glad Kevin made it through his medical crisis to continue to grace us with his wisdom and soul 🙏 Dudes a treasure

[@brysimm404]

I’d like to think that actors trying to become media “creators” leads to a greater appreciation for what everyone on the other side of the camera deals with while they are acting.

[@BrandanLee]

That's the IATSE revenge arc the SAG-AFTRA would never tell you about.

[@reynaldomcwhiskey6689]

love the episode. love the audio only format. forget the haters. that’s what’s up.

[@bodhisattva9190]

I'm still a die hard Kevin Smith fan but I believe Clerks 3 unbelievably fell short on humor because of multiple things and faith is one of them. Him and Scott Mosier made comedies that will still be watched forever. Intellectual and dick in fat jokes will always be yalls bread and butter. I believe all your fans would love a film with every actor from every film and tie together your View Askew universe into one film. #kevinsmith #viewaskew #jayandsilentbob

[@Jayneflakes]

This was a wonderful listen, thank you for making this available. I love what you are doing. 😁

[@queenannsrevenge100]

KZbin put a commercial at ONE MINUTE INTO THE AUDIO! That is just ridiculous! That aside, kick ass, Katee! You’re a fantastic actor, and much love to to Kevin as possibly my favorite filmmaker of all time!

[@theloungeguys1358]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MOOSE JAWS WITH KATEE!! I never knew I wanted something so bad until right now.

[@lyconxero457]

I've been thinking about this ever since I finished listening to the podcast and now that I've made it home I just have to say that changing the name of the show to The Sackhoff Show was a great move for many reasons but the main one that became incredibly clear in this episode is that the show really is about you. I'm still thinking about the story you told when you were young and decided to try drugs for the first time not because you had some incredible urge to do so but just because you wanted to be social and feel like a more outgoing person in your new environment. The fact that it got shut down immediately by that senior actor is an incredibly good thing but just the way you described the whole situation completely reminded me of when I went off to college and invariably tried a variety of things that I never would have done otherwise just to fit within the new social norms in which I found myself. I just love experiencing that very human feeling of being able to relate to a complete stranger who's lived a very different life from yourself but when you listen to them talk you realize that you've been in situations that while different seemed to have elicited the same emotional reactions.

[@kennenite2092]

So happy. I just finished the last episode a few hours ago. Got something to listen to for the next two hours at work now. Love your podcast!

[@Lowlandlord]

Normally my ADHD makes it hard for me to listen to a podcast lacking in a video, but I forced myself with this one (with some small distractions). Totally worth, love listening to you two talk. No criticism of whatever style you feel works, just what usually works for me and my weird brain. Youse are doing a great job!

[@StarBoKry]

Many of us loved Bo-Katan's participation in season 3 of The Mandalorian. In my opinion that character has one of the best arcs in Star Wars.

[@robertoliver7368]

I'm starting to think that the people who complain about Star Wars don't actually watch Star Wars.

[@eboethrasher]

​@@robertoliver7368no, they want Ala Carte Star Wars. Everybody wants it their own way. Which is impossible. I would love to see everyone who complains have to pitch precisely what they want it to be WITHOUT seeing what anyone else wants to see. Then they can see what everyone else wants and see how little of a commonality there is between what they wanted. So they only know they don't want what they see but they don't want the same thing.

[@bigstevie1690]

Same My old ass is getting tired of certain SW fans complaining about all the new shows just because it's not how they want it to me it's just adding to the galaxy i grew up loving and i'm just enjoying them all very much

[@reygonzalez6021]

I didn't mind it. More because of the character but almost as much for Sackhoff.

[@SpiceRunnersLounge]

Amazing episode Katee, love the energy on this episode and Kevin’s insight to directing.

[@lyconxero457]

I love this episode. Kevin Smith is an amazing conversationalist.

[@katevand]

Fantastic interview, Katee and Kevin need to work together ASAP

[@jessehoule1397]

I agree, I was able to reorganize my room while listening to this podcast.

[@temojin9489]

Lovely interview with Kevin. Audio only surprisingly frees me up to do other things on my laptop while listening...not that I was ever forced to 'watch' an interview.

[@sgtmeadowsjd]

Kevin's interviews are always outstanding! Would love to meet him. Rock & Roll Kevin!

[@kimai1641]

Yeah, Katee come back any time! Your Pod, his interview of you! Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around? I gotta say Kevin is brilliant as always!

[@rocketdude2969]

Kevin Smith is my brother from another mother ....we both love movies and batman and quick witted . Great episode

[@militaryhistorian1973]

I love the format, Katee as I can work on things and listen to it. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks in Novi, MI for the Motor City Comic Con!

[@pmkstudios]

conversations are great - Kevin is truly his own thing

[@psygarg]

Katee... you've been K-Smithed!! The man has the superpower of talking and make people talk!

[@byronbrownfield1041]

I loved this. Kevin started interviewing you and you managed to turn the tables and interview him. You both rock.

[@TheKaIibak]

1:49:01 Hello Katee! I am Tico and we will love to have you in Costa Rica. The only Spanish you will need is "Pura Vida". I loved the podcast!

[@robertoliver7368]

I completely understand about losing your religion. I was raised as a southern baptist evangelical christian but I haven't had the faith for over twenty-five years at this point. I think that it started when I was three years old and I overheard my mom and my grandmother arguing about something (I didn't find out what they were arguing about until I was an adult). A few days after the argument I asked my grandmother about it. She responded by burning my hand on a coffee maker. "Spare the rod spoils the child" and "don't question god" were her favorite things to say. BTW, the thing that they were arguing about? My grandmother gave Pat Robertson my Grandfather's life insurance policy ($100,000 in 1982). So yeah, between that and my father's religious beliefs that's why I don't have faith anymore.

[@jstrat1259]

Have Kevin and Marc write the buddy cop show!

[@johnmackay496]

Loved this episode, obvs a big fan of you both anyway. Also reminded me how much I enjoyed the 2 episodes of Black man beyond that Katee was on

[@briandouglasahern7067]

A thoroughly enjoyed this. A treat.

[@calebleland8390]

Kevin! I love you, brother, but Momoa lived here in Iowa, man. Great interview here! Thanks, Katie!

[@DrFranklynAnderson]

Reminds me of Worf from TNG-raised by humans, so tries to go SUPER HARDCORE KLINGON as an adult.

[@calebleland8390]

@@DrFranklynAnderson great analogy!

[@THX-C]

I could have easily have listened to another two hours easily!

[@lordhosk]

Kevin has history with buddy cop movies... You want to work with Kevin... COP OUT TWO with Katee and Ming-Na 2025! CONFIRMED! WOOOO!

[@dragontrainer76]

Also, Katee *definitely* needs to be in Moosejaws!

[@stevencampbell2018]

Love this interview

[@smackdown247]

I definitely agree, being able to move about while listening to a podcast. Allow a lot of freedom to multitask.

[@matthewkeating-od6rl]

My proff on after life is matter is neither created nor destroyed just changes shape.

[@gumbygreens8975]

Now you HAVE to get Marc Bernardin on the pod!

[@stevemancillas1120]

Thanks! Enjoyed this interview with Kevin Smith.

[@norabrice]

It's your podcast to produce however you want to set it up; thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@Kevin_Underhill]

I saw that this was 2 hours and thought I'll just do 20-30 minutes. Here I am at the end and it was a great listen. I would definitely watch that buddy cop show and Moose-Jaws if and when. :)

[@KateeSackhoffOfficial]

Love this!!$ 🎉❤

[@mazzamonk]

Love Kevin... such a flow between you

[@Louis-Law]

Totally fine with Audio only, and if that allows you to interview more people i'm all for it.

[@CarnageO31]

A Katee and Ming-Na buddy cop movie written by Kevin Smith would be great

[@pikeyMcBarkin]

such a great episode. Kevin was super chill.

[@thelodownshow313]

Chris Jericho is audio only and he travels with his equipment around so when he has his wrestling events and invites his friends to do a podcast backstage.

[@scottkrasowski745]

I often think of the story Katee told Kevin on his Fatman Beyond podcast of the time she had workers or delivery men at her house and she told them that the motorcycle in her garage was hers, not her boyfriend's. Awesome.

[@BryceHallett]

I also like the audio version. I can listen while doing other things or even just resting, where you can just listen and focus on your conversation, like a radio show. I love it. It’s nice to not always have to be starring at screens . Also yeah you and Ming na Wen in some sort of buddy cop or road trip movie would be fantastic. Good luck with all your things!.

[@gregjarnigan3515]

I never gave up my faith. Never will. Jesus is my homeboy.

[@LaserSplatter]

Christ is King 🙏 ✝️ ❤

[@rabnessmonster25]

Bit of a baby killer tho isn't he

[@TonyFromSyracuse101]

Filmmaker and great speaker aside, he has always been in the end very impressionable. he admired Seth Rogan and when Seth got him to try weed he did and that was the start of his film career getting beyond bad . and.... he looked up to Carlin with such passion that just being around his orbit sucked the faith out of him. losing his religion to me is basically him just being impressionable by people he admires and wanting to sort of exist in their wake. when I think of all the almost supernatural hate for Jewish people on earth thru the eons, and by extension Christians.... I know that the Judeo/Christian God exists. theres no explanation for it save for the truth of that.

[@dendralen]

Katee in Moosejaws!

[@timt3751]

I am such a fan of Katee. Oh and Kevin is great too I guess lol. j/k I am a fan of both.

[@valeriesorrells]

Awesome show! I remember when I saw you for the first time as Starbuck and was thinking no way should a woman play that character. So glad I was wrong. You were the best choice and so happy they changed it to an ultimate badass woman! Learned a ton about Kevin's back story, one of my favorite directors.

[@jackdiddley]

Great interview. Kev has been talking about Moose Jaws forever. I’d love to see Katee in that!

[@beardedveteran101st]

Wonderful Episode! Been a Kevin Smith Fan from the Jump. Also, might be neat to look into doing Finding Your Roots(PBS) with Henry Louis Gates Jr. Love that show been really educational in some ways

[@ericstorm5285]

Kevin Smith is great. I am subscribed to his channel as well.

[@MSE-X]

Omg, that was EXCELLENT. Thank you, both of you!

[@paulpixphotos]

Hi, Loving the podcast as always, I was waiting for new content! You talked with Kevin Smith about having your characters made into figures. What is your appreciation for fans that come dressed as you, in full costume (any of your shows). Also did you appreciate Captain Bombardier at NYC Comic Con 2023? I figured you interacted with him on set so I thought you would appreciate it. I know it was during the strike and we couldn't talk Mandalorian much. Was great meeting you that day. Funny info, I was working at the local NJ TV station when Kevin Smith showed up to a protest his DOGMA film, he joined the protesters and the reporter didn't know who he was. Was some funny stuff. Thanks for your time

[@monkeyseatfingers]

MOOSE JAWS!!!!! With Katee!

[@KylieIsOverIt]

What a brilliant conversation/cross-interview.

[@stevenm1753]

1:15:46 I know I shouldn't be laughing at this clarification by Kevin but I just the delivery of it completely slayed me. But I was still laughing at the thought of Katee sliding on the set of Mando and not being able to stop. Picturing a blooper reel, "Katee I said cut" as BoKatan slides out of frame.

[@Pareltje333]

Love listening to this💖 Wonderfull podcast as always. Love both the video and the audio ones. I will keep on watching/listening to it.💖🤗

[@dragontrainer76]

Loved this interview. I had heard Kevin previously talk about Moosejaws n i coulda sworn he'd already done it n i just hadn't seen it yet. 😂

[@uziekiele]

Loved it. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@ronaldjones6548]

Love how you still did audio only while at Kevin Smith's place with all his video podcast equipment.

[@AnakinNikkilys]

Honestly I don't watch most of the videos on KZbin anymore. Especially those that are longer than 20 min. I listen to them on a road to or from work. So audio only podcast is totally fine.I believe most of the people ether way rolling long videos on their side monitor or something, most of the times.

[@geddon436]

I really enjoyed you and kevin talked about God not existing, I have more respect for y ou

[@Azzeyman25]

great interview, he actually turned it into interviewing Katee

[@EWElife0313]

Kevin, don't second guess your Masters of the Universe. It was Great! Katee's next role with Kevin...live action Evil-Lyn.

[@Notretsam]

1:13:41 Oof, I'll never understand fans who complained about last season focusing on Bo Katan, the show is called the Mandalorian and Bo Katan is a Mandalorian. Like Book of Boba Fett could've and maybe should've been The Mandalorian Season 3 as he is a Mandalorian. I loved listening to the If it's all reality stories from Kevin around the 1-hour mark, escapism is all I want now from TV Shows and Films.

[@SupersonicMan10000]

I can hear you two talk for hours!

[@jamiecruze5208]

Thanks Katee and Kevin! Loved it.

[@user-bw4lb3py4t]

Watching this on May the 4th. Going to see Episode 1 after work. I love going to the movies. Even have the Regal pass.

[@justingriffiths6957]

Katee, As a hospital chaplain, I heard your questions about how God can allow children to get illnesses. It is a legitimate question, something I talk to kids and families about while they are at the hospital. If you ever find yourselves in the hospital again and you are struggling with that question or any question about your own spirituality, know that the chaplains are there to support you. We don't come in with any agenda to convert, just to help kids and families make meaning and integrating what brought them to the hospital. Peace to you.

[@apparition13]

Re. audio only: video helps me focus, and expressions help me understand. If I do anything else while the audio is playing I focus on that, and no longer "hear" the audio. In fact, if it's only audio, my attention will drift to something else, and I'll miss swathes of conversation. Music works in the background, but conversation doesn't. So no audiobooks, podcasts, or talk radio while doing anything else, especially driving, because it's focus on the talk or the activity, and since driving is way more dangerous than listening talk is right out since I can't afford to be distracted from the driving. Or the dishwashing, although that isn't as life-threatening as distracted driving. :) It just comes down to people are different, and we perceive and experience things differently. Audio works for plenty of people, other people need video.

[@TheWisestWizards]

Great episode, I could have listened for hours more.

[@blahblah9408]

Great episode, thank you Katee!
